It's hard to tell on a low-res copy - usually you can blow up the image and look for fringing around the joins.

What makes me think it's at least plausible is that there are no obvious fringes around the kid's hair - cutting and pasting hair is always interesting in Photoshop - and the light looks believable. Often when you try to montage two scenes they're lit from completely different angles, and which doesn't seem to be true here.

Then again you're right about the splashes, and the aim is possibly a little too perfect.

So I'd say it's open - could be either.

I was thinking that the kid and the soldier were part of the original photo, which would cut the hair fringing problems out, just the penis and urine would have been added.

The sheer accuracy of hitting  the centre of the helmet is a bit dubious though I agree

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

would also think he'd have to pull his pants down just a bit further... but at any rate, how long would it take for the soldier to notice that it was raining on a very limited area?
